Jesus changed our world forever. But who was he and what do we know
about him? David Wenham's accessible volume is a concise and
wide-ranging engagement with that enduring and elusive subject.
Exploring the sources for Jesus and his scholarly reception, he
surveys information from Roman, Jewish, and Christian texts, and
also examines the origins of the gospels, as well as the evidence
of Paul, who had access to the earliest oral traditions about
Jesus. Wenham demonstrates that the Jesus of the New Testament
makes sense within the first century CE context in which he lived
and preached. He offers a contextualized portrait of Jesus and his
teaching; his relationship with John the Baptist and the Qumran
community (and the Dead Sea Scrolls); his ethics and the Sermon on
the Mount, his successes and disappointments. Wenham also brings
insights into Jesus' vision of the future and his understanding of
his own death and calling.
